Question 1

What kind of guarentee do you offer? Especially related to the viability of plant after transport?

Accepted Answer

The plants are thriving in my greenhouse here in Maine, and each tree is carefully packed in soil in the pot, with enough water to survive transport. I recommend immediately watering the plant upon arrival, place in a well lit area of your home, and when it comes times to repotting as it grows, I use Better Homes and Garden's Natural & Organic Professional Container Mix, and Osmocote fertilizer to enhance growth. I include a few tablets of Osmocote in your package, as well as an extra seed for new planting, as a free gift for you. These are the same seeds that I use to grow each plant. I have been selling these for quite a while, and the best guarantee I can offer is that every tree has survived shipping and its new home to date. Like everything in life, there is no certainties (especially in 2020) that I am aware of, except one.  That being said, you are also being given a new seed, God forbid your new friend has a difficulty in transit. Is that fair?

Question 2

Can you ship to California?

Accepted Answer

Hi. We cannot ship to California from Maine, as it is not permitted under USDA Regulations. However, we operate a sister greenhouse in Los Felix (Los Angeles) for California customers, so your plant would be able to be delivered from there, usually quicker. They are identical to the ones grown in Maine, as they originated from California. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Question 3

What is the weight of this shipment?

Accepted Answer

It varies on the weight of the attached soil, but it is approximately 1 pound.

Question 4

Will this plant survive 10 hours in a mailbox during freezing temperatures?

Accepted Answer

I’m sorry to say no, but it would be highly unlikely. At this time of year, all plants are shipped with charcoal activated heat packs, but they are at most 40 hours of heat, to protect against fluctuations in air temperature on planes. By the time of delivery, it is crucial to watch USPS tracking, to ensure the plant is not left unattended outside, especially if you live in freezing or high temperature locations. I wouldn’t want to see these little babies die at the last stage. I do sell seeds as well, if you are happy to try and grow the trees yourself. They can survive cold temperature at arrival better. Take care and stay warm. Gerald
